WITCH HAZEL  - for when you need to sit down

Ah! Soothing, cool witch hazel. What would we do without it? As a relief for tender hemmorroids it can't be beat. But why does it work so well?

Besides being cool and soothing in products such as Tucks, witch haxel has an active ingredient - tannin which should get all the credit for its soothing properties. But how it works exactly is anyone's guess. But work it does.

Witch hazel is not named after someone named Hazel who was a witch. The name is actually a derivation of an archaic word that meant supple or pliant.

You will find witch hazel in after shave lotions and in some insect bite preparations.

The main thing to remember about witch hazel is that it will reduce swellings.

When the bush is in bloom it has small yellow flowers in the fall.

WITCH HAZEL TEA

A tea made from the leaves and bark is said to be a marvellous curative for piles (hemmorroids). It can also be applied externally as mentioned earlier on. You will also find it in suppositories.
